Microtech USB Foot Switch — 1‑button USB pedal for Windows
A compact USB Foot Switch that provides single‑action measurement saving and zero setting for Windows‑based metrology setups, designed for benchtop and inspection environments.
- One-button operation for fast data capture
- USB connection compatible with Windows
- Saves measurements to memory or sets zero
- Compact footprint 60 × 60 × 20 mm
Streamline measurement logging with hands‑free control
The USB pedal offers a simple method to transfer measurement events without interrupting manual handling or changing grip on instruments. Linked to the Microtech MDS app, the device sends a save or zero command via a standard USB link, reducing transcription errors and speeding data collection. Thanks to the single‑button design, operators benefit from a predictable, repeatable input: the result is fewer interruptions in the measuring process and a measurable increase in throughput for routine inspection tasks.
Practical compactness for busy benches and tight spaces
With a footprint of 60 × 60 × 20 mm and a weight of 0.2 kg, this foot switch fits easily beside gauges, callipers or test stands without consuming valuable workspace. The small form factor simplifies placement under test rigs or alongside operator stations, so the pedal can be reached comfortably without changing posture. The reduced need to handle instruments during data capture improves repeatability and diminishes the chance of handling‑induced errors, particularly during repetitive quality checks.
Clear integration with Microtech software and Windows systems
The peripheral is engineered for straightforward integration: plug the pedal into a workstation running Windows and pair it with the Microtech MDS app to log measurement events or perform zero setting directly from the app interface. The device supports saving to memory via the software, which allows buffered recording where native instrument outputs are limited. For workshops standardising digital data capture, this method provides a robust, low‑effort route to create reliable logs and reduce manual entry steps.
Suitable applications and operational benefits
The pedal is well suited to production inspection, toolroom checks and small‑series measurement tasks where hands‑free confirmation speeds cycle times. As a dedicated input device for measurement software, it complements digital gauges and inspection routines and is particularly effective where operators must keep both hands on a part or tool. The simplified controls reduce training time and, combined with software logging, support traceability in routine quality assurance workflows.

FAQ
Is the pedal compatible with macOS or Linux?
The Microtech USB Foot Switch is designed for use with Windows systems and the Microtech MDS app; macOS or Linux compatibility is not specified for this product.
Can the device trigger a zero setting on digital callipers?
Yes, the foot switch sends a zero command via the Microtech MDS interface when configured, enabling hands‑free zeroing where supported by the connected measurement setup.
Does the switch store measurements independently?
The pedal functions as an input device; saving to memory is managed by the Microtech MDS app, which records the events and stores measurement entries.
What are the physical dimensions and how portable is the device?
The unit measures 60 × 60 × 20 mm and weighs 0.2 kg, making it compact and easy to position on crowded benches or move between workstations.
Is special software required to use the foot switch?
The Microtech MDS app for Windows is required to access the device’s memory‑save and zero‑setting functions; basic switch operation via simple USB input may be possible where a host application recognises generic input events.

Accessory Items
Take advantage of stable wireless data transfer and the option to connect multiple measuring instruments simultaneously; the Microtech Metrology USB Dongle ensures reliable integration with the Windows MDS application and includes a 1 m MDS USB extension cable. Order the adapter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult Metav's specialists for configuration advice. Microtech Metrology USB Dongle – wireless MDS interface, up to 50 m range A USB Dongle for secure wireless connection of Microtech measuring instruments to the MDS application on Windows, suitable for indicators, calipers, micrometers and bore gauges. Wireless MDS connection up to 50 m Standard: connects up to 3 instruments Pro: connects up to 8 instruments Includes 1 m MDS USB extension cable Reliable wireless data transfer that speeds up inspection workflows The dongle provides a stable and secure data transfer channel between workshop instruments and the Windows MDS application, reducing manual entry and the associated risk of transcription errors. With an operational range of up to 50 m, the adapter supports measurement collection across larger benches or test stations, enabling centralised logging without interrupting production flow. This wireless link is optimised for common metrology tools such as indicators, calipers, micrometers and bore gauges, so data capture becomes a seamless part of established inspection routines. Scalable connectivity to match test-rig requirements Two performance levels accommodate different setups: the STANDARD variant allows simultaneous connection of up to three instruments, while the PRO variant increases capacity to eight devices, making it easier to consolidate several gauges at a single PC. The included 1 m MDS USB extension cable facilitates flexible placement of the receiver on a bench or PC tower for better signal reception. By consolidating instrument outputs into the MDS data stream, throughput is improved and traceability is strengthened without changing measurement habits. Simple integration with focused compatibility and secure operation The adapter is intended exclusively for the MDS software on Windows and is not used with iOS, macOS, Android or HID modes; this focused compatibility avoids unnecessary complexity and ensures predictable behaviour in standardised IT environments. Installation follows a plug-and-play pattern with the MDS application, minimising setup time and training effort.
